To all the good folks who have been helping me with ideas on how to find her....I feel so dumb! I found out tonight that the local library had the USA death index on hand. I pulled the 1950-1959 lot and lo and behold----there she was! At least I have my hopes way way up there. There was no expalantion on any of the fiches as to how to interpert them, so if anyone understanding them can look at what I taken to be the answer is right, could let me know for sure. I have: WEBSTER Lillian m (married?) AJ (spouses intials?) under co is the number 19, is this the county or state( hopefully Florida)? the date is 4/6/1957 regist# 5033 state file 57-31918. Now if you have been following, her husbands name was Arthur James, so the initals are right, the date is at least before he died as a widower, so I just need to know what the co stands for. Also, do I send $2.00 for the certificate to the Vital Stats Ofiice in Jacksonville or will I have to find the town and do I need to include the file numbers? You've all been so great and helpful, I can't thank you enough for your time. My next query after this will be to try and find the marriage date, providing the death record gives me the information I will need. That will only leave me 2 more marriages to find from the 12 siblings to have them all. It's kinda like playing monopoly or something. Do I win Park Place or something, when I find the lst one (grin). Again, thank you all....Donna in Canada :0) (wish I could put a bigger smile on that face, cuse that's how I feel!)
